Managing the Risks

Reached important agreement with Government of Canada on extending pension funding arrangements to January 30, 2021

– Required payments of at least $150 million annually with an average of $200 million per year over seven years, to contribute an aggregate minimum of $1.4 billion in solvency deficit payments

Successfully completed a private offering of enhanced trust certificates (EETCs) to finance five new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft

– Enormous interest by investors

– New attractive source of financing

– Three tranches of certificates with combined face value of $715 million and blended coupon rate for all tranches of 4.7%

Lowering fuel price risk through effective fuel hedging policy

– Strategy is to hedge at least 40% of the next 12 months’ expected consumption

– As at April 30th, 2013, Air Canada had hedged 33% of its anticipated fuel consumption for remainder of 2013 at WTI-equivalent capped price of US$98 per barrel

– Hedge portfolio comprised of call options and call spreads – protects against significant spikes in fuel prices and allows Air canada to benefit fully from declining jet fuel prices
